Ive never seen the show and probably never will cause I'm just to damn busy to watch TV.
From my perspective, as an TV outsider, it seems this is a loser issue for Conservatives.
Conservatives are generally people of faith. However, the ways we chose to practice our faith vary by denomination and person. All condemn the exploitation of a child. But what is a child? the 28 year old living in their parent's basement or a 16 year old girl? or a 18 year old boy?
This is an issue because the Libs see a crack in the Conservative mainstream and they are doing everything to exploit it.
Choose our battles carefully..and ignore this one
I tend to agree. I think that this situation could get increasingly embarrassing, and we might be best off quietly backing off from it rather than making huge fools of ourselves. I’m not saying to throw him under the bus( I hate that expression but it fits here) but just quietly back off from the whole thing. I began to get concerned before his marriage remarks— I began to get concerned when I heard about his race comments. Meanwhile, there’s a lesson here—don’t get in a really big hurry to take sides in this stuff if you haven’t given it some thought and may need to know more.
No one is asking you for help.
Well that would certainly be the “convenient” thing to do, now wouldn’t it?
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--
and there was no one left to speak for me.

I think a better educated decision would be to fight the battle here and now. Cowards can sit back and enjoy the fruits of the labors of others.
